Hi Chris —

WMI is not enabled for remote queries by default, which is unfortunate. We have an FAQ about enabling it here:

1	Quinn With your first answer I was able to get the Inventory issue resolve. I wa able to get the Satellite issue resolve by manually adding the port 8000 to the servers firewall rules. link answered 26 Nov '18, 16:49 Terry 13●1●2 accept rate: 0%

That is looking at a remote system. The PA FileSight is running on the server that is posting the Inventory Connector error. Also getting a Satellite not connected from the remote server. Still looking into that. Confirmed both servers have the correct security permissions in the WMA as outline in the how to article.

Terry,

Please forward the log files for both the central and the satellite service to support@poweradmin.com. Also on the satellite server please open IE browser and go to the address that you have the satellite configured to use. Example https:\centralServerName:portnumber Please send me a screenshot of what is returned in IE.

Thanks Quinn
